Great explanation @peachfuzz :+1: :ok_hand: :v: …

@Mr.Chrontini, you are not in the same boat as Chow. Your soil is more acidic than Chow. Chow as a nearly perfect pH soil now. peachfuzz give a great answer, you even can have some bugs in a batch of soil and, from the same compagny but from another batch, you won’t.

As for my sources, the chart come from here ILGM forum, there is a topic called charts and graphs, you should take a look, it’s very informative :grinning: Charts and graphs, and from my numburous years of gardening and study.

Hoping that’s gone a help you,

~Al :v: :innocent:

Thanks for the help!! Here is an issue I’m having now…

What is the strain and type(unknown bag seed, strain name, regular seeds, feminized seeds, auto-flower, etc)? Unknow bag seed

Indoor or Outdoor? If outdoor, planted in ground or in a container? Indoor

Size of space (max height and area, length/width)? 1.2mx1.2mx2m

Soil or Hydro? Type of Medium used? System type?
Soil

pH? Of the soil or medium (root zone/reservoir/run-off) and of the water and/or nutrient mix that is fed to the plant?
6.3-6.6

Type and strength of nutrients used? NPK? EC/TDS/PPM levels? Of what you feed it as well as what is in the water by itself and in the soil/medium (run-off), or reservoir.
using classic canna veg a and b at half strength only

Temperature? Day vs. night temp or highest and lowest temps? Root zone temps? max 28c min 21c

Humidity %? Day vs. night 55 max 45 min

Light system/watts/lumens/FLUX/PAR? 600w hps and a t8 4 foot fluro

Ventilation system? Size? CFM? CO2? AC, Humidifier, De-humidifier? Have 2 fans one before and one after the light with carbon filter and 2 clipper fan, not sure on the sizes of them

Number ā€œweeks/daysā€ from into Season, Vegetative Growth or Bloom/flowering? Plants are about 8 weeks in veg but first 6 week only were on a friends window sil only been under light at 18/6 for 2 weeks

the bigger one of the two was taking off great but now the top leaves have started to look a bit droopy and crisp so i moved the light up higher,i think i over watered her last week so i left her for a few days and have only been watering every 2nd or 3rd day also moved her a bigger pot this morning and watered heavily. roots were looking awesome!
the little one was going slow but after i fed her some nutes her top leaves got big and green the next day.
germinated another seed 8 days ago and is looking good

but my concern is the biggest one could someone tell me whats going on with it?

@peachfuzz @Nug-bug @Niala @Myfriendis410 any help would ne greatly appreciated :slight_smile:

@Chow My Fellow Cultivator You Are Overwatering Your Lil lady… :wink:
It looks like a 1 gallon pot , which is fine… but you must let her dry out… :wink:
If you don’t , you can expect bug problems , pH issues , nutrient lock out and all sorts of other things… :wink:
Fill out a support ticket to get a better over all diagnosis of the problem… :wink:
But in the mean time just water when she needs it… maybe every 2 or 3 days…
Fill a same size pot with dry soil and feel the difference…
Water when your baby needs it… :wink:

@peachfuzz I’m asking because I’ve never done and I’m guessing these are photos but I’ve never grown in a 1 gallon pot is it possible without getting root bound ?

I thought might be the case i was watering nearly everyday before because when i went a knuckle deep in the soil it was dry but this was before i knew the temperature in the tent and it was way too hot but its good now so i only water every 3 days or so,
I filled out a ticket above the photos :slight_smile:

But will let em all dry out more, cheers for that

@Chow, watering cycle really ought to be water to runoff with ph 6.5 water and don’t water until the plant is about to start drooping. This allows the plant to push roots out looking for water and helps prevent other problems as @peachfuzz stated. This is the main reason we transplant multiple times so that we achieve a frequent wet to dry cycle.

Simply put: don’t love them to death.

Will do thanks! :slight_smile:

Yes you can… :wink:
I’ve ran from start to finish with pots that were just a little bigger than a solo cup with air pruning holes up the side to keep the roots healthy… :wink:
There were 20 clones from a lemon haze plant in a water heater tray that was 2 1/2 foot by 2 1/2 foot …
After they rooted I vegged them for 3 weeks and cut off all side shoots and threw them into flower…no topping… during transition I continued to cut off any side branches and after 15 week’s in flower I ended up with huge Colas that were over a foot and a half long… :wink:
In the middle of flower a net had to be added because the buds were to massive for the little pots… also I was watering and or feeding twice a day sometimes… you really have to be on top of things when using this method… if I were smart , I would have added a self watering system at the time… :wink:
That grow was also done under twelve 3500 Kelvin cfl’s that said they were a 100 watt equivalent… :wink:
I don’t remember how much medicine I got from that run… but it was an awesome experiment that was totally worth it… learned alot from that run… especially when it comes to space and height limitations… :wink: @Hogmaster

When you FIM, from what I’ve seen is that the new growth gets twisted, mangled up looking.
Perhaps this is what your seeing?
@Chow

Yeah that would make sense since its only where ive topped it the leaves had started twisting

If you want full effect of scrogg then you need to wait a couple more weeks . When you have filled the screen 75-80% then flip to flower schedule and keep tucking till she startsšŸ˜Ž

Yeah i was thinking about letting them go for another week or 2
